Bad managers are everywhere and they affect many of us!
According to psychologist Michelle McQuaid in 2017:
65% of people would prefer to fire their boss than get a pay rise.
75% of people say that having a bad boss makes their health suffer.
58% say they’d be more successful in their career if they got along better with their difficult boss
And a Gallup study in 2015 that found that:
50% of the 7,200 adults surveyed left a job “to get away from their manager”.
Close to 70% of those polled said they would be happier at work if they got along better with their boss, with the breakdown equal amongst men and women, but younger workers in their 20s and 30s skewed even higher (80%).
So, you’re not alone, and for our personal well being and health — as well as our productivity — it’s important for us to try and improve the relationship with our line manager, our bas boss.

A note about the trainer, Marie Willis
Marie is one of the UK's most experienced coaches. In fact, she cofounded Lequin Executive Coaching back in 2003 when there were just a handful of coaching companies. And before she became a coach she worked at Deloitte Consulting, specialising in change management and leadership development. So, she's been working in the field of personal and professional leadership development since 2003. In this time she's trained and coached senior leaders from around the world and in a diverse range of international organisations, including: senior leaders at BBC Property, RWE, Disney, the board of Dennis Publishing, board members of GE Money, the board at Future Publishing, and board members of SEGRO (FTSE 100 property company). I’ve also worked at all levels at Npower, RWE IT, RWE Innogy, Thames Water, Welsh Water, BNP Paribas CIB, Tower Watson, Avon Fire Brigade, Sainsburys, Pepsico, GE, Vodafone, HSBC PB, and Lloyds TSB.
So, she's come across plenty of bad managers, poor line managers, both in her own career before setting up Lequin and when working with clients as a one-to-one executive coach and team coach, as well as a trainer. She's seen what havoc poor line managers can do, and she knows how to deal with them. She brings a wealth of experience to this topic and she has excellent techniques to share so you can improve your relationship management, your political IQ, your conflict management, stress management, leadership skills, and your emotional intelligence.
